June Information and CR Meme
I hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.
IC Month
This month is the month of Fiddlesticks. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”
This means: Every thread in May or June where your character learns, or is learning something new will be worth 2 team points. This might be learning something new about a friend, learning a new skill or learning something about the train or a world.
Threads that fulfill this criterial can be submitted during June AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!
Recipes are here. The key ingredient this month is bacon. All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.
This months chore assignments are:
Purple: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Red: Meal Preparation
Orange: Laundry
Blue: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
The Train.
As the month moves through the month of Fiddlesticks the train will stop to pick up new passengers. When everyone rejoins the train they will find a new gym!
This carriage is very similar to carriage C. A long narrow space walled off from the corridor. The cupboard however is not filled with balls. Instead it has mats, soft hand held pads for training with, training dummies and even some balancing beams. It also has large blocks that look a little like what you might find in a children's play centre but can be used to make obstacle courses or provide cover in training exercises. There are two climbing apparatus next to the wall that can be swung out to create a climbing frame.
All of this has been updated on the setting. Remember to let me know if your character does anything to alter the setting!
Important Dates
This month event will be an on train event From the 12th to the 13th June. A plotting post will go up on 10th June.
Reserves will open 18th June with a TDM going up on the 15th June. Apps are between 22nd June and 29th June. AC will run 22nd June to 29th June.
Other Info
~ We now have a character initiative page. This is for any character or player driven things, such as new organisations, new IC publications and other services that are player/character driven.
~ We now have two types of network.
The ICPs are on the train, there is one in every carriage and one in each cabin. Characters can communicate with voice or video to either the whole train or to one carriage. There is no back catalogue of posts and no text option (there is one in the works and only those characters who can interface with the ICPs have access so far- their text posts can be seen by all but only replied to in video or voice). At its heart it is a slightly fancy tannoy system.voidtreckernet is the place for network posts on the train.
The SCAs on missions now have voice communications enabled. These are active from when the voidtreckers first get their mission briefs to when they return to the void at the end of the mission. They can speak to all, to team or to individual. Please see here for more information. Those with phones or other devices that can connect can assume that they have linked up by next mission. Even with these devices they can only access this feature on missions. Each mission will have a comms post for interactions over the SCAs.
Both of these are big open communication systems and it is fair to say conversations are not very private. Some such as the 'speak to all' on the SCA should be a free for all radio style format. But for conversation between two people on the ICP (even if it can be heard by all) please check oocly with participants before threadjacking.

Character: Khardeen/Khary
About them: Lord Khardeen is a Sapphire Jeweled Warlord from a world where Darkness is a measure of power not alignment, where gender roles are... a delicate balance...
While many Blood Males - The Blood is his race, basically people with magic from any parent race, in his case, human - are violent and easily pushed to violence, Khary's Caste makes it easier for him to keep his temper, and he chooses to try and find humor in things to further prevent himself from killing. In his world, murder is discouraged, but not illegal. And in his own territory, he is the law, second only to the two Queens he serves.
Plans: He needs to teach more people how to play chess!!! (His culture plays chess differently, and it actually has a psychological element which makes for some fun threads!) Also getting to know more of the people on the train. I also really still want to find a female he can make a temporary contract with to serve for as long as they are on the train and no one from his world has arrived...
CR wanted: More friends! And as I said, a close bond with a woman he can protect and feel protected by. (He is married, so any flirting is of the friendly sort, and the contract/bonding has nothing to do with romance or physical closeness. Except when he fusses, because he will sit on a woman he thinks isn't resting when she should.)
Things to avoid: OOC for me, physical relationship stuff, which won't be an issue since his wife is not in game, insect things, that sort of stuff. I have a filter that ****s out cursing.
IC for him... e really don't want to push him too far, temper wise, so avoiding situations where he is aware a female is being abused/hurt, an animal is being abused/hurt, or someone is hurting/abusing a child.
